History

Founded in 1983, the Second Street Gallery is conveniently located in the heart of old town Bandon, Oregon with easy access to State Highway 101 and walking distance to the harbor.

Initially Second Street Gallery was a co-op, organized by a group of local artists who wanted a venue in which to sell their art. It was housed in the smaller, adjacent building west of the present structure. After a year, the gallery was purchased by the Harrisons in 1984 and moved to the Dahl building. The next move was across the street to the Continuum Building in 1988. In 1995 it was purchased by Debbie Johnson and Grover Hatcher and was relocated to its present site. In 2005 the gallery was purchased by Richard Rahmlow and Pat Nash and then purchased by Peter Bauer and Candace Kreitlow in late 2012.

Today the gallery represents the work from over 100 artists and companies primarily in the Pacific Northwest, working in a wide range of mediums. Seventy-five percent of these artists reside in the state of Oregon, while the rest call Washington, California or Canada their home. Please take the time to peruse the Second Street and be treated to a panoply of original art and gifts.

Ryan, Joe

Bronze Casting
From Bandon, Oregon

Cotterill, Tim - Also Known As: Frogman

Bronze Casting
Tim's life has taken many twists and turns,
starting with his childhood fascination of
reptiles and birds, to developing his welding
skills while creating expressive bird
sculptures through the 1970's and 1980's.
Throughout his life, he has always had a
love for the outdoors, stone masonry and
radical, powerful custom street vehicles.
Tim's high energy zest for life pulled him to
what he refers to as his "power place,"
Venice Beach, CA. This new, sunny, vibrant,
free-spirited surrounding was the catalyst
that let Tim's mind and visions run free. His
creativity exploded, especially with is
Frogman bronze frog sculptures. Tim
continues to live his dream life and
suggests to everyone, "Build your dreams
and your dreams will build YOU!"

Kreitlow, Candace

I have developed a personal technique by
which I weave traditional fibers with
contemporary metalized polyesters. The
visual qualities of reflective materials,
Mylar and other plastics, are especially
appropriate when I deal with the themes of
water or light. My multi-harness loom
techniques primarily involve an extremely
dense warp of natural yarns that sandwich
the reflective material. The amount of
yardage in some pieces may include up to
7000 yards of yarn.
I cut the Mylar, which I sometimes paint
with permanent inks, into straight or
shaped strips. When weaving, I choose
whether to expose them enough to create a
particular image or to cover them to create
an almost hidden dimension or illusion. The
pieces are finished when stretching them
over a sculpted frame. The colorful textures
and reflective plays of light create subtle to
dramatic visual effects depending on the
viewer's perspective and lighting
conditions. There emerges an
organic/inorganic dual quality from my
weavings which merges the old with the
new, the warm with the cool, providing a
dynamic spark to interiors.

Street, Debra - Silk Sensations

Debra Street learned the painting process
from her father. Danny, her father, wanted
Debra to learn how to paint so she could
carry the family art into the future... so she
dedicated herself to learning everything
she could about the process. Afterwards,
she got so excited about it that she went
home and decided to start her own
business as well. She also was passionate
about learning to paint so she could
continue to stay home with her children
and help support the family. Debra has
customers all over the world that enjoy her
scarves, ponchos, sconchos, shrugs, and
ruanas. Every piece is hand-painted,
therefore, unique in every way from another
piece.

Subias, Eva

I have been knitting as far back as I can
remember. I must have been around seven
years old when I started. In Sweden, my
native country, all kinds of handcrafts are
taught as part of our regular education.
Through the years I have enjoyed sewing,
crocheting, embroidery, weaving, lace
making, and knitting.
For the last 20 years, though, knitting has
been my focus and my passion. I happily
create sweaters, felted hats, scarves,
mittens, caps, and more in the comfort of
my living room. I only knit by hand; I use no
machines. My garments are made using
high quality yarn from all over the world. It
is my sincere wish that my creations will
spread the same joy and happiness I felt
while knitting them.

Knapp, Jewel - Jewel's Rescued Remnants

Thompson, Jeff - Sand Dollars

Solid cast glass with a "sandy" texture on the surface. Many color variations are available. Five inches in diameter.
Jeff Thompson, a native Oregonian, has been a professional glass artist for well over 10 years. The techniques he tends to employ are based in Italian tradition, with a strong sense of innovation and adaptation applied to those ancient methods. All of Jeff's kilns are computer-controlled to provide optimum annealing, and this ensures a piece of artwork that will last for ages.

Fire & Light

Fire & Light glass is hand crafted
glassware, made in Arcata, CA. Seven of
their nine colors contain over 90% recycled
glass. Each piece is hand made, one at a
time. In fact, it takes three days to complete
the process from start to finish.
A variety of plates, bowls, glasses, soap
dishes, candle holders, and vases are on
hand at the Second Street Gallery.

Duell, Lowell

Lowell's most recent series of
paperweights are called "coral reef." These
detailed little "aquariums" are created using
individually sculptured sea life designs
encased in clear crystal. He blends colored
glass with thick cylindrical glass cane for
the coral reef setting. With a special hand
torch, he may add a starfish, seaweed, or
tropical fish, making each paperweight
different from the next.

Kitras - Glass Art

Glass Sphere Ornaments and Stands
Glass disks
Stephen Kitras began working as a glass
blower in 1988. He studied at Sheridan
College located in Oakville, Ontario Canada.
For five years he worked alone handling all
of the production and administrative tasks.
He and his wife Elke were shipping the
product from their dinning room table. In
1994 Kitras Art Glass was formed and
Stephen and Elke became founding
partners of the corporation. At this time, the
single most important factor in the
company's growth was the beginning of
exportation to the United States.
By 2001 company sales had increased and
a new facility was built to accomodate the
increased production demands. In 2006
Stephen and Elke's oldest daughter, Sophie,
joined the company and is now the sales
and marketing manager. Stephen
continues to be involved in the company,
overseeing all new product
development,training of new staff, and
when he has time, working on his own art
projects and commissions.
In 1999, the company suffered the loss of
Elke Kitras to Leukemia, but the vision that
she and Stephen developed for the
company continues to thrive.
It is the vision of Kitras Art Glass to be
recoginized as an excellent Canadian glass
blowing studio that produces innovative,
beautiful and decorative glass objects. We
strive to create designs that enhance the
modern home, garden and lifestyle. We
believe that beautiful things enhance the
enjoyment of everyday life. When
surrounded by beauty the spirit is uplifted.
We hope that you will be inspired by our
products, our vision and our passion and
share our message with your customers or
in your own home.

Payne, Janice

Stained Glass
Janice Payne of Coquille, OR.

Neal, Karen

Glass Mosaics
Karen Neal . . . . art education teacher who
did NOT like teaching art! Loved DOING art!
So, in the meantime, she taught Spanish
(and loved it!) and upon retirement, got
back to DOING ART!
Mosaics started in 2005 when she
mosaicked a 24 square foot wall behind her
bar. The rest is history. It was too much
fun to ever give up! She has done
numerous kitchen back splashes, many
trivets and mirrors, a multitude of dog
portraits and plenty of landscapes.
Challenges (i.e. a slaughterhouse side of
beef) are so fun! She is passionate for
color . . . and angles.
When she's not mosaic-ing, she's hiking,
drinking, cooking or eating.

Mark Hines Designs

Glass Vases (Freestanding and Wall
Hanging)
Oil Lamps
Mark Hines was born and raised in
Southern California. Although Mark is
basically a self-taught artist, early in his
career he studied Glass Design and
Ceramics at USC. In 1976 he began
working with stained glass. From there he
progressed to ceramics and in particular
Raku vases which enjoyed great success.
Mark currently produces a large and varied
line of modern slump glass pieces making
use of knowledge he gained while working
with stained glass and ceramics. Sand
molds give the glass an organic look and
iron stands make the pieces very
functional. His clients, many of whom are
interior decorators, began requesting
oversize pieces and Mark has been able to
accommodate their requests with large
glass vases, bowls, chargers and
candlestick holders.
Mark's designs have been shown in
Architectural Digest and his pieces are in
collections worldwide.
Mark and Jeanne Hines and their son Eric
reside in Prescott, Arizona.

Linke, Alex

"Pieces in Time"
The inspiration for "Pieces in Time" dates
from when Alex was eight years old, and
found a shard of Roman pottery on his
father's farm in Bavaria, where the Romans
had built a wall to keep out their enemies. A
year later, after the fields were plowed, he
found a 2,000 year-old Roman trail bead.
He has been collecting ancient ornaments,
coins, and beads, ever since.

Acacia Creations

Beaded Jewelry - Each of the beads is individually hand-rolled from recycled magazine paper by women in Uganda and western Kenya. They are then sealed with water-proof lacquer and made into one-of-a-kind jewelry. This process helps provide incomes for many families in two different countries and helps keep paper from streets and landfills. Each item is crafted under fair trade conditions.

Bennett, Barbara

Bennett Beadery - Beading by the Sea
Barbara hopes her pieces of glass jewelry
reflect her deep and sincere passion for the
world of art and creation. Hold them up to
the light, hold them close to your heart,
wear them with joy and that truly is to know
her world of beauty.

Jewelry is made by hand in their studio
with real butterfly wings and sterling silver.
No butterflies are harmed. They come from
tropical butterfly farms within the rainforest
and are gathered only after dying naturally.
It is a rainforest "sustainable use" activity
that helps preserve wild butterfly
populations; provides needed income for
the farmers; and helps save rainforests by
giving them economic viability without
being cut down.

Dorita Gray Designs

Dorita is a potter and a pattern designer.
The only glaze she uses is transparent. The
colors in her pieces are different hues of
porcelain and stoneware clay. She builds
the pattern blocks by hand and fires the
clay at 2200 degrees. The finished work is
lightweight, durable, and cleans with soap
and water. Each piece is a unique work of
art.

Bouher, Heather

"Glass Roots"
Inspired by tiny treasured bits of glass
found while walking along the beach in
beautiful Bandon-by-the-Sea, the jewelry
made is created with both recycled and
genuine beach glass. Tumbled smooth to
the touch, each piece has inherent qualities
that make it unique. Heather also
incorporates historical glass from the 1936
Bandon fire in some of her pieces as well.

Yashi, Holly

Niobium is Holly's signature metal of
choice. It is more precious than silver, rarer
than gold, light as a feather, and 100%
hypoallergenic. This magical metal will
never tarnish and with proper love and care,
its vibrant hues will never fade.

Unique double pendants include a
decorative overlay topping another piece
with an engraved quote. Each piece is
created using sterling silver and embodies
an essence of her quirkiness and
unfaltering cheerful spirit.

Jack, Keith

Keith draws inspiration from the raw beauty
of the Scottish and Irish landscapes. Each
of his jewelry collections offers something
unique that he has seen in a hidden
mountain loch, the grey sky over the glen or
the ripples on a sandy beach. Inspiration
becomes design.
His jewelry is fashioned from sterling silver,
10K gold, 14K gold or sterling silver set
with solid gold 10K or 18K gold pieces.

Hawthorne, Lisa

Cloisonné is the enameling technique Lisa
uses most, the term coming from the
French word "cloison," meaning an
enclosed area or cell. She bends 24k gold,
or fine silver with clear glass and fired in a
kiln. Once cool, ground glass in a variety of
colors is added to the piece and then re-
fired at 1450 degrees for two minutes.
Layer upon layers of glass are added with
as many as 20+ firings. Lisa likes to create
pieces that follow the natural lines of the
body.

Liquid Metal - Sergio Gutierrez

Founded in 1991, Gutierrez started welding
strands of industrial ball and chain
together. Sergio's Liquid Metal Collection
reflects his artistic vision with bold jewelry
that merges vintage style with modern
technology. At the heart of his designs is
the sensuous and unique mesh that is both
contemporary and timeless. Prized for their
comfort and originality, Sergio's creations
are meant to be worn daily. Each design is
handcrafted from ball chain, and one by
one, each ball is soldered to the next to
create the joints that form the piece. Base
metals of bronze and copper mixtures
result in a strong, durable chain mesh.
Later each piece undergoes an antique
silver or chrome process to achieve its
signature look.

Dimock, Steve

Steve's "Back Room Forge"
Here in the back room, Steve melts down
metal, pours it, pounds it, rolls it, stamps it,
rivets it and solders it in an effort to create
designs that are unique and interesting.
The metals he works with are silver, copper,
and shibuichi. Silver is derived from old
scrap jewelry and from raw fine silver. The
copper comes from recycled electrical wire
and plumbing. He uses the two materials to
create his own shibuichi.
Shibuichi is a traditional Japanese alloy
made from copper and silver. He enjoys
working with this allow as it provides a very
interesting surface when reticulated and
can result in a pleasing peachy color at
times. It can even have the appearance of
silver if it is repeatedly heated and cleaned.
This makes it a metal that is very fun and
versatile.

Peterman, Stuart

By designing and fashioning his own
textures as well as individually hand-
hammering and hand-sawing each piece of
metal, Peterman creates simple yet elegant
jewelry. His interest and enthusiasm for
experimenting with rhythmic lines and
inventive patterns results in unique and
distinctive creations.

unbelievably smooth piece of sea glass or
pebble on the beach? Seaglass is proud to
offer a beautiful and unique selection
created in their studio from art glass,
antique and recycled glassware.

Zantana Designs

Dichroic Glass Earrings and Pendants by
Berta and Rex Heisler
Dichroic Glass is created in a special kiln
with a vacuum chamber. The glass is
heated to a specific temperature, then an
electron gun vaporizes a blend of metal
oxides and quartz crystal sealing them onto
the glass. The proportions of the metal
oxides or the number of layers of metal
oxides determine the dichroic colors. The
special effect of this glass is that it has a
transmitted color and a completely
different reflected color. Before Fusing, we
stack layers of glass….. different dichroic
colors , different textures of glass, and
different dichroic glass patterns. Next we
Fuse them together to marry the blend of
glass characteristics. Each piece goes
through the kiln process three to five times
before they are wire wrapped.

Zealandia Designs

At Zealandia Designs they go to the ends of
the earth to create unique jewelry. They
hope you will appreciate the quality of
workmanship that goes into the crafting of
their original art jewelry as creation of their
designs is a complicated process. The
ancient fossilized walrus ivory they use is
excavated by native Yupik from St.
Lawrence Island in the Bering Straits of
Alaska. In order to comply with CITES, the
international treaty that protects living
walrus, our handpicked materials is
inspected by US Fish and Wildlife.
Ancient ivory is a finite product and is
becoming increasingly rare making it an
excellent investment. Ancient ivory colors
range from cream to black making each
piece a one-of-a-kind work of art.

Lorang, Brad

Brad was born an artist. From early childhood Brad's work attracted art collectors with his highly detailed illustrations and oil paintings. After high school Brad worked in the bronze foundry industry where he sculpted, casted, and emerged as a highly specialized patina artist. Over the next twenty five years Brad's commissions included commercial sculptures for Presidential Libraries and many museums including the Smithsonian. Brad's current work combines a lifetime of artistic endeavors into his own unique style and approach to his fabricated wall sculptures, engraved metal art and 3 dimensional works.
"My journey as an artist has been a long process stretching my imagination, pushing boundaries of the mediums in which I work, developing and refining them. The process then allows me to be drawn towards that which compels me and inspires me, a vision that I then create and immortalize metal."

Scott, KC

KC Scott produced his fathers (Ken
Scott Inc) metal sculpture designs since he
was 18 years old. He developed and helped
to discover many trade secrets over the
years. Once he was completely on his own
in the field, his past self education and his
desire to create even more refined artwork
took center stage. He has a great love for
the medium and never stops inventing,
creating, and refining his talents. It's
evident in each piece he produces.
Each sculpture is unique in itself. They
are crafted individually by hand, using no
laser cutters or mass productions. He
makes his sculptures from the cleanest
steel available, worked in a warm
environment and sealed with a clear
lacquer finish.

Established in 1980 and located in
Bellingham, Washington.
Watercolor Prints
"Art is a tradition that helps define who we
are and brings us a vision of who we can
become. My painting is my expression and
request for a more beautiful, peaceful and
harmonious world."

KB Leslie (Kathy Bonnema)

Serigraph Prints (Silkscreen)
As a painter and printmaker, Kathy's work
is the visual language in which she sees
the world. She finds our natural
surroundings to be an inescapable positive
link, a constant throughout our lives. She
gravitates to patterns and color
relationships in nature, and her
compositions initially unfold based on
those elements. Her paintings and
serigraphs are more symbolic than literal,
and are meant to evoke an emotional
response. Her goal is to create something
contemplative, reflective, and celebratory.
Something as simply beautiful as the world
she sees around her.

Lochhaas, Mari

From Port Orford, Oregon.
After catching fish, Mari uses the actual
fish skin and scales to make her prints.
Unique and organic, her technique captures
the meticulous detail of each individual
fish.

Rolicheck, Mitch

From Coos Bay, Oregon.
Mitch uses the dry-point etching technique
to make his prints. Prints in a variety of
sizes display punctual detail and usually
incorporate fish within the composition.

Drake, Gene

Soapstone Sculpture
Cave Junction, Oregon
Gene's life followed a twisting trail that
led him to many places and occupations,
but the most important part is that Gene
wound up in Alaska and he was introduced
to Alaskan art. After being encouraged by
friends to market the art work that he still
did as a hobby, the artist soon found a
demand for his work that led him to pursue
a career as a full time artist.
Asked to describe his art and lifestyle
he responded, "My art is a reflection of my
concept of my living experience. In each
sculpture that I create I try to impart a
mood or feeling that can be recognized by
other people. When I create something that
I know is good it pleases me because I
know that it will please others as well."
Historically, soapstone has figured
prominently in early native American arts
and crafts and because of its enduring
beauty, it is still widely used today. Much
softer than ivory and jade, it lends itself to
beautiful renditions of wildlife commonly
seen in America.

Burgess, Rob

archival quality materials in printing.

Castricone, Lincoln

Lincoln is a psychologist and a
photographer who has been printing

work is with infrared photography. He has
won many awards and has been
represented in Fine Art Galleries in Ohio,
Kentucky, Colorado, Arizona, Utah,
California, and Oregon. He is a father of
four with five grandchildren.
"Landscape never bores me and when it is
grand I am called beyond myself, which is a
good thing. For me a good landscape
rendering evokes at once a sense of
familiarity and a mystery, the recognition of
a place I've never been and never left."
The Process:
Most of my prints are composite images.
That is, they are made up of multiple digital
frames stitched together in a computer.
This image is then printed on photo paper,
canvas or infused into metal. Only archival
quality materials are used.

Japanese Sumi-e paintings. That
combination of artistry and photography
has produced images that capture intimate
moments of the birds' daily lives, revealing
the world as seen by avian eyes.

Hodges, Randall J

Randall J Hodges has been capturing

Alder cylinders, napkin rings, candle
holders, and lidded cylinders.
Each piece of Alder is selected by hand and
dried. Jim looks for interesting shapes and
patterns in the pieces he gathers from the
coastal forests near his home. Some even
bear the markings of bull elk or deer that
have rubbed the velvet off their antlers. In
addition, Jim uses mortise and tenon joints
and dowelled construction to ensure that
his handcrafted furniture is not only
beautiful, but is structurally sound and will
last for generations.
Jim's work brings the natural environment
out of the woods and into the home without
further degrading our forests or using
precious resources.

Evans. Jeff

Original Myrtlewood Clocks
"I have no regrets, but I had no idea what I
was in for the day I inspired to design and
produce wooden clockworks. My skill as a
woodworker certainly helped, but it took
years of work and study. It also took an
investment in precision metal working
machinery that I adapted to cut wood.
The movements (gear work) are the same
in all my clocks and to occupy the body of
the clock, they share the same mechanical
needs in terms of spacial dimensions and
strength of support. From the moment of
conception, when the fixed geometry of the
movement engages the very fluid concept
of form, my role changes from creator to
parent. Like a gardener who plants a
sunflower seed, he doesn't know what form
it will take, other than it being a sunflower.
He can only provide it with the conditions it
needs to mature to its greatest potential
and then watch what unfolds. I funnel
inspiration from many sides of my life, but
more often than not, I find that my clocks
are born out of the humorous side."

Noel, Brian

Mr. Noel began woodworking in
construction and enjoyed the attention to
detail and fine craftsmanship found in
period furniture pieces of early Americana.
Mr. Noel has built a small woodworking
shop south of Bandon, Oregon and enjoys
working in the local myrtlewood with his
wife and three children. Each piece of
furniture designed incorporates old world
majesty and comfort with originality and
artistic appeal that make each, truly one of
a kind.

Heartwood Creations

world's small treasures since 1978.
Each box is made by hand and from the
heart. The craftman's mark that signifies
his care and love of woodworking is the
little heart that you see on every Secret
Box.
Heartwood Creations not only love making
little boxes, but they also love the
environment. For every tree they use, they
plant five in its place.

Kale, Steven

Original handcrafted wooden boxes.
In 1986 Steven began tinkering in his shop
with wood scraps. By then he'd become
enchanted with the elaborate, highly
characterized hardwoods of the Pacific
Northwest. The connections between
form/function on the stage and
form/design with functional woodcraft
became a curiosity. With woodcraft he is
almost entirely self-taught. He's found that
gives him the freedom to try different
things, act impulsively and when suitable,
break the rules of carpentry. Inventiveness
and adaptability are keys to originality. He
adapted some woodcraft techniques and
borrowed some design ideas from the
theatre into the sculptural boxes that have
found happy owners worldwide.

Spangler, Tom

Original myrtlewood pens, credit card pens,
and styluses.

Nazemi. Ed

Fine crafted functional and decorative
furniture.
Ed Nazemi aspired since he was a young
man of using his artistic talent to work with
wood. The opportunity finally came about
when he retired and moved to the Bay Area
to Humboldt County. Ed now works with
exotic woods from all over the world and
will as many as four different kinds to bring
them together and create his unique
furniture designs.
Ed also offers custom furniture designs with a variety of woods and styles to choose from. Please email the Second Street Gallery and bandonartworks@gmail.com for further inquiry.

Mitercraft Bookmarks

Functional works of art. Enjoy the natural beauty of one of our finely crafted wood bookmarks, handmade in America from sustainable woods. Each bookmark is one-of-a-kind due to the varying characteristics of wood, combined with the artistic talent of their crew.

Stennett, Gordon

Original handcrafted bird sculptures
containing multiple types of wood with a
satin lacquer finish and coat of paste wax
to ensure the finish for years. Each piece is
original; no two will ever look alike.

Roberts, Larry

Larry's interest in woodcarving began in
1982. After attending several seminars,
taught by world class carvers, and
countless hours of trial and error, Larry has
developed a style he likes to describe as
"stylized realism." He enjoys carving a
variety of wildlife. Of special interest, the
drama and fierceness of raptors.

Bauer, Peter

Extensive wood sculptures varying from
functional cutting/serving boards, to
furniture, and realistic and abstract
decorative designs as well.
Pete Bauer and Candace Kreitlow, a
husband and wife team, began creating
collaborative sculptures in driftwood in the
early 1990's. While Candace has an
extensive background in fiber, she has
always maintained an interest in the
medium of wood.
As a former Air Force pilot and a thirty year
veteran of teaching and coaching
gymnastics, Pete is a student of things that
"move." While his work utilized wood
indigenous to Wisconsin, a chance meeting
with Oregon coast carver Steve Kuntz
introduced Pete to the challenge and joy of
driftwood carving. Under Steve's influence
and encouragement, Pete began working in
the root systems of Redwood, Red Cedar,
White Cedar, and Myrtlewood.
Pete and Candace met in 1991 and almost
immediately discovered their shared
interest in wood art. Their subject matter is
often abstract birds and fish, as well as
more realistic representations of seals or
dolphins. Candace is instrumental to the
design of each piece and enjoys the detail
work of the eyes and head. Pete enjoys the
rough out process and much of the sanding
and finishing.

Memminger, Steve

Original surfboard designs.
Steve has lived in Oregon for 28 years and
is currently working for the Oregon State
Parks as a Team Leader in Bend, Oregon.
Wood working has always been a hobby for
Steve. He started shaping miniature
surfboards just for fun a few years ago and
then was convinced by friends to begin
displaying in galleries.
Most of the boards are made of South
American hardwoods. Purple heart and
Satinwood are his favorites because of
their tight grain and color. They are very
dense woods and provide some weight you
can feel when you pick up the board. Other
woods he uses are Myrtle, Hickory, Jatoba,
and Mahogany. With the three different
shapes and the various woods, the number
of combinations is almost endless. Each
board is built as accurate as possible with
attention to detail. They are also built
strong to withstand frequent handling.

Woodall, Terry

Terry J. Woodall specializes in myrtlewood
sculptures of northwest oceanic and
woodland wildlife. Using only the finest
quality myrtlewood, he looks for patterns
and coloring which are appropriate to each
piece. Intriguing driftwood bases are
combined with realistic animal carvings,
enhancing the overall effect of the lacquer
finished pieces.
A third generation Oregonian, Woodall
traces his heritage of the Oregon woods to
his great grandfather who cut trees with a
crosscut saw in the early logging days.
Today, Terry salvages his own raw
materials while maintaining a deep
appreciation of his native woods, coastline,
and the wildlife living there. From his
studio-workshop near the coast, Terry
enjoys observing gray whales, seals and
sea lions, spawning salmon and the
occasional Orca whale.

Brooks, Kerry

Dock 6 Pottery
Kerry Brooks has been a potter since 1988.
She learned to throw in Ann Arbor, MI and
has been working as full-time studio potter
in Minneapolis, MN since 1997. She works
primarily in wheel-thrown, high-fired
stoneware. Her pots are fired to about 2400
degrees in a natural gas kiln so pieces
without fused glass can be used in the
oven, microwave, and dishwasher. Pots
with fused glass are primarily decorative
but can be used with dry foods and should
be hand-washed. All of Kerry's pots are
durable and they will not lose their vibrant
colors over time. She hopes you enjoy her
pottery for both its function and its art.

Ikebanas are not a traditional vase - anyone can create a beautiful arrangement that is ... Simple. Graceful. Elegant.

Kirkland, Stephen

Stephen has an interest in finding a good balance between the refined and the earthy: He likes a refinement of form and technique, but never to the extent that it detracts from the basic earthiness of the clay. Fine craftsmanship, harmoniously blended with forms, colors, and decorations derived from the natural world makes the best marriage of pottery in his opinion.

Hampton, Rhonda

Pit-Fired Pottery
Originally from New York and educated in pottery at Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina, she moved to rural Oregon in 1983. The natural beauty of the area has a direct influence on her creative inspiration. She is fascinated by the many colors and textures she finds in the area and tries to reflect that in her work.
After forming the pots they are fired at a low temperature in an electric kiln to increase their durability. They are then wrapped with locally gathered seaweeds, grasses, and ferns, placed in a pit in the ground, and covered with about two feet of sawdust. The sawdust is lit at the top and slowly smolders down around the pots for the next ten to fourteen hours. Color changes take place as the natural materials around the pots carbonize and are absorbed by the porous clay.

Schwartz, Marty

Marty Schwartz has been a studio potter
since 1975, working on the North Bay
region of Humboldt County, California. "My
work, handthrown in both porcelain and
stoneware, is a reflection of my desire for
simplicity, beauty, and functionality. Each
piece can be displayed prominently in any
home and used everyday."

Foster, Ray

"Clay by Ray"
Ray produces his functional and decorative
stoneware pieces at his rural studio in
Jacksonville, Oregon. The results are very
durable, light-weight, completely lead-free

safe, and oven-proof. Ray has displayed his
work in galleries for over fifteen years.

Motawi Tileworks

Nawal Motawi is the founder and principal
designer of Motawi Tileworks. With her
team of designers and craftsmen, she
creates handmade, historically informed art
tile for installations and as art pieces.

Turner, William

Mr. Turner is one of the few people in the
United States who produce raku fired ware
year-round. He personally pulls each piece
from the kiln and inspects each raku piece
before it is signed and dated. The copper
matte glaze used is one that he formulated
and worked with for many years. The
finishes are all derived around this one raku
glaze and a combination of special
techniques. He achieves a wide range of
colors and has perfected both light and
dark raku finishes. William uses as many
unique shapes in his line that are the
canvas for his raku art, painted with fire.

Giusti, Tom and Nancy

Guisti's Enterprising Art
Tom and Nancy formed Giusti's
Enterprising Art in 1984- In the beginning
Tom made Gyotaku and Nancy made large
raku pottery. Over the years raku pottery
has dominated the business and now Tom
and Nancy work as a team, with Nancy's
ability to draw and Tom's unique ability to
create new shapes for Nancy's wildlife
creations, they have created some bright,
stunning and refined images to be used on
the usually rough and primitive raku
pottery. They find continuity in the control
of the forms with Nancy's drawings and the
spontaneity of the glazes reactions in the
raku fire.

Moonfire Pottery

Claire and Bill Delffs
Eugene, OR
Beautifully glazed mugs and garlic graters.
Garlic Grater
Rub a peeled garlic clove across the center
teeth to grate the garlic and puree it to
release its flavor and aroma. Add extra
virgin olive oil, a splash of balsamic vinegar
and perhaps fresh herbs or dried hot
pepper. Dip fresh French bread slices into
the mixture for a simple hors d'oevre or
elegant snack.

Briggs, Rich

Horsehair Saggar
Pieces are thrown on a potters wheel and a
terra sigillata slip is applied when bone dry.
The piece is hand buffed for a smooth
surface. It is bisque fired to cone 06.
(Approximately 1800 degrees) Ferric
chloride is then brushed on and the piece is
wrapped in aluminum foil and placed in an
outdoor kiln. When 1500 degrees is
reached and the foil becomes brittle, the
piece is lifted from the kiln with tongs, the
foil removed, and actual horse hair is
placed on the pot where it sizzles and
burns and leave a carbon record of its little
dance. The artist has about one minute to
place the hair before the pot cools and the
hair will no longer burn. The piece is then
scrubbed to remove the hair residue and a
sealer is applied.

McNerney, Pam and Mike

Candle Holders
Mike is a craftsman and Pam in an artist
and together have been making pottery
since 1977.

Little Shirley - Laura Burman

Miniature Ceramic Vases
"I'm sure you have someone in your life that is your inspiration. My grandmother Shirley Larson was that person for me. When she was diagnosed with cancer, I decided to do something positive in her honor. I began to raise money to support cancer research and patient services, but I didn't want to do it the old-fashioned way. Giving people a tangible gift in return for their donation would make them feel more connected to the cause, and Little Shirleys, were born out of this idea."

Schwartz, Michael

Pit Fired Ceramics - Aluminum Saggar
First each piece is thrown on the potter's
wheel and then bisque fired. Then the pots
have some areas covered with copper or
steel mesh and then the entire piece is
sprayed with copper and rock salts. Before
entering the pit, each piece is wrapped in a
triple layer of heavy duty aluminum foil.
This holds the fumes close to the piece's
surface in reduced oxygen atmosphere.
The result is striking intensification of
color.
What you see is due to the interaction of
fire and smoke on salts and metals. No
glaze has been used. Each piece is one of a
kind...a work of art with its blacks, greys,
greens, reds.

Dunn, Dan

Oil Paintings
Dan Dunn is a painter who paints his
environment as he sees and feels it.
Working from his personal vision, he joins a
long line of artists who, in doing their work,
have left us with a clearer and more
intimate vision of the world.
We enjoy in Dan's work his rare ability to
make a significant statement using a
marine format. His technique embodies all
the spontaneity and confidence of a painter
who knows his subject intimately.

Egger, Dolores

Oil Paintings
The ability to capture the northwest beauty
in landscape and seascapes, is through
Dolores's inspiration of enjoying the scenic
surroundings. Her inspiration and pastoral
feeling are given to the viewer, as a
moment in time. Dolores was born in
Portland, Oregon and still resides there.

Hardgrove, Jane

Watercolorist
A fifth generation Oregonian on both sides
of her family, Jane's work shows her love
and relationship with the beauty of Oregon.
Jane is an award winning member of the
Watercolor Society of Oregon.
"Watercolors...the free flowing, accidental,
spontaneous medium has been my choice
and challenge for 30 years. My love of the
outdoors with its ever-changing moods and
faces has been my constant inspiration. I
am deeply interested in the possibilities for
enigma with watercolors...undefined areas,
soft or lost edges, bringing the focus into
only some areas. I feel painting with
unanswered questions leaves more
openings for movement, personal
interpretation, and emotional
undercurrents. I often work in a series.
Trees, nests and northwest landforms have
been subjects I have explored. Patterns in
nature and their abstract representation
stimulate many of my paintings."

Donaldson, S.L.

Acrylic Paintings
From bold and colorful animals to ethereal
landscapes, Stephanie's paintings are
bound to evoke an emotion or mood.

Lehman, Susan

Collagist
Susan's paintings are often a combination
of watercolor and collage, the subjects
locally inspired landscapes, as well as still
life. Using a variety of rice paper, and
Chinese newspaper, Susan adds texture
and images before she begins painting. On
a few, Susan has "poured" her paints
through rice paper and tissue, letting the
paint dry, then removing the paper to leave
the texture behind. Watercolor pastels and
crayons have been used to further enhance
the batik-like quality.
In her latest paintings, Susan has been
experimenting with a variety of water media
including fluid acrylics, gesso painting, and
gel image transfers. Because of her textile
background, subtle textures and colors
appeal to her sense of beauty. She builds
layers of paper and paint by using collage
and glazes, usually finishing with fine line
calligraphy over the surface.

Levitan, Laurie

Oil Paintings
"I find creative inspiration in the beautiful
beaches of Bandon, and the comfort and
power of the sea. My art is not only a
representation of my subject, but also a
reflection of my emotional response to that
which I seek to portray."

McFadden, Denise

Watercolorist
A variety of bird paintings and some
including a unique interwoven design.
Denise is a member of the Northwest
Watercolor Society, Southwest Watercolor
Society, National Watercolor Society, and
Watercolor West.

Morgan, John Paul

A prolific painter and printmaker who grew
up on a large sheep ranch in central
Washington. John Paul Morgan had the
freedom to roam through the High Cascade
Mountains where wildlife inspired his
artistic future.
John's career took several twists and turns
while leading to his present vacation as a
full time artist. He has taught in both public
and private schools and worked as a
graphic artist for the Boeing Company
animating instructional films with
cartoonists from Walt Disney.
Morgan's impressive studio, which is
quartered in the urban setting of
metropolitan Seattle, views his childhood
terrain from a different perspective. With
his window facing East, he can see the
Cascades of his youth under the urban
influence and the sounds of the "Golden
Oldies" from his radio, while working on
either his serigraphic print facilities, an
antique English lithographic proofing press,
a large etching press, or simply drawing or
painting.

McMichael, Don

Oil Painter
Before retiring from the United States Coast
Guard in 1977, Don made his living saving
lives in the most difficult and dangerous
conditions that the Pacific Ocean has to
offer. As officer in charge of search and
rescue stations along the Oregon Coast,
where unpredictable weather often creates
some of the roughest seas in the world, he
developed a great respect and admiration
of the sea. When McMichael retired, he had
growing concerns about the pollution of the
oceans and the plight of the whales. "When
I was young, the oceans were clean and
abundant with life. Today our sea life has
decreased and our oceans are
endangered." McMichael's goal is to
communicate through his underwater
world of marine wildlife, a compassionate
concern for the sea and man's interaction
among the earth's precious marine
mammals.
Don spent many years perfecting his art.
He is able to achieve such detailed realism
in his work by researching and viewing his
subject in the ocean's depths. When he
dives into the ocean, it is to be among the
gray whales in California and Oregon or
with the humpbacks during the winter
months in Hawaii. What he sees there
swims to life on canvas in his studio that
overlooks the waters of Coos Bay Oregon.
Don has exhibited his art throughout the
United States and has received awards
from such notable exhibitions as the
Audubon Society and Mystic Seaport
during their annual international showsThe
International Whaling Commission
accepted one of his limited edition prints
"Whaling Moratorium" in commemoration
of the ban on commercial whaling. The
White House purchased his Oregon Coast
Music Festival Poster "Boogie at Seal Rock"
after it appeared on the national television
on the "Today" show. he is also an artist
member of the prestigious American
Society of Marine Artists, artist member of
the United States Coast Guard Artist's
Group, avid supporter of the Cousteau
Society Center for Whale Studies and
numerous other marine conservation
organizations.

Mostert, Dutch

Watercolorist
Watercolors by Dutch Mostert feature
maritime and contemporary subjects along
the beautiful Oregon Coast and beyond.
Dutch resides in Coos Bay Oregon and
works from both studio and location to
create his extraordinary watercolors.
Typically his paintings demand many hours
of time at the easel as well as hours of
research. Working boats of the Northwest
Coast especially tugs and fishing vessels
are his preferred subjects and Dutch is
especially gifted in his ability to capture the
character hidden in their fine details.
Admirers of his paintings often comment
that they find themselves irresistibly drawn
to his work.

Ousley, Michael

Mr. Ousley was raised in Kansas City,
Missouri where his natural talents were
encouraged both through elementary
school and high school with classes at the
Kansas City Art Institute and employment
at Hallmark Cards. After graduating high
school he relocated to Arizona State
University. His studies were placed on hold
while serving the United States Navy. While
in the US Navy he was fortunate to spend
time Athens, Instanbul, Barcelona, Palma
de Majorca, and Tunisia where he was both
inspired and educated by the works of the
Classic Masters. After retirement he
returned to Arizona State University to
complete two degrees, then chose to
establish his studio in Langlois, Oregon.
Major artistic influences in his life have
been Chuck Close, Wayne Thiebaud, Fritz
Scholder, and good friend and mentor Earl
Linderman aka Doktor Thrill. Artistic
elements from expressionism, fauvism, and
impressionism have been incorporated into
his works. He takes the creative process
forces from these inspirations, breaking out
of the established patterns to present art in
a new light. He uses the color to stimulate
and disturb the status quo. This is evident
by one of his favorite quotes from Edgar
Degas, "Art is really a battle."

Richey, Ava

Ava's primary interest is in landscape
painting, especially plein air (painting on-
site outdoors). Oregon's south coast offers
an unending supply of inspiration. Saying
in paint what we see and feel around us is
an artist's greatest challenge.
Oils are her favorite medium. She also
enjoys the challenge of working in pastel
and other mediums, including mixed media
collage.
Ava works to support, encourage and
broaden communication in the growing art
communities of southwest Oregon. She co-
ordinates artists, writers and venues to help
create exhibitions, shows, and retreats, and
occasionally teaches classes.
In September 2006 she organized the
Bandon Monday Plein Air Painters. All
painters are welcome to join in and there is
no fee. They meet outdoors Mondays-
except when weather sends them indoors-
to paint, sketch and share ideas.

Roemen, Elaine

Oil Painter
When Elaine built her studio, she made a
welcome center for all visitors. Walking up
a few short steps, you are invited to enter
the house, through the studio. It is an
eccentric, colorful,art studio housing
frames, blank canvas, finished paintings,
art magazines and books. Surrounded on
three sides by trees, light and openness, it
is an unusually delightful experience. The
beauty of the artwork hung from high walls,
resting on tabletops, and balanced against
door frames, competes with what Mother
Nature offers, through the large panes of
window glass.
It is hard to view her work and not be
impressed with her use of color, and
personal technique, which immediately
takes us to places she discovered, and
wants to share. There is a softness to even
her bold colors, which almost allude to a
pastel quality, although her medium is oil.
While most of her current works are horses,
local seascapes and landscapes, she also
woks on personal commissions,

Snyder, Pat

Most artists can recall the influences that
led them to their passions. For Pat Snyder
it was watching his father communicate
visually while earning a living as a
commercial sign painter. Pate took his
innate talent to Northern Illinois University
where he earned his Master of Arts degree.
He works in acrylics, collage, and
printmaking exploring the essence of the
Oregon South Coast, where he has lived for
more than 40 years. He strives to touch the
viewer with the organic energy and beauty
of the area by interpreting nature's
surfaces, light and depth. Sometimes the
viewer is treated to a view of the
undergrowth, and the rusting and
weathering of artificial suffices. All are part
of the Oregon landscape.
He is well recognized and respected for his
art and as the former art teacher at
Marshfield High School in Coos Bay. His
teaching career began in 1967 and
included college-level instruction at
Southwest Oregon Community College. No
doubt, he lit the fire under a new generation
of artists. He retired from the classroom in
2998 and has been a working artist and
museum volunteer since.

Steele, Jeannie

Steele uses numerous layers of paint on
canvas and wood panels, often enhanced
by a high varnish finish. Much of her work
evokes a richness reminiscent of an 'old
world' era. "I try to incorporate a luminous
inner glow in each painting," Steele states.
"I want my work to appeal to the viewer's
emotions and memories...leaving some of
the painting unexplained, just as life is."
Steele now resides in Gold Beach, Oregon
with her artist husband, and continues to
travel throughout the American West,
painting and gathering further inspiration.

Steele, Tod

"My style is what I call, Expressionistic
Impressionism. I delight in shape and color,
using lots of thick, 'fat' paint to create a rich
texture and depth. While working I strive to
paint spontaneously and with as much
feeling and energy as possible, hoping that
in the end, some of this good, positive
emotion is somehow passed onto the
viewer. I live in Gold Beach now with my
wife and best friend JM Steele."

Steele and Steele

JM Steele and Tod Steele are both
professional artists who have teamed up to
create a new collaborative style of
paintings. The images are bold and colorful
and the subject matters of iconic animals
in acrylic on canvas.
The fun and unique part is that they paint
on the canvas at the same time, and to
enhance the process they use their hands
to paint with (only using brushes and
texturing tools for finishing touches).
The outcome for this husband and wife
team is an exciting contemporary style that
captures the spirit of both artists, and
converts their love of animals.

Tierney, Victoria

Watercolorist
Victoria lives and works in Bandon, where
she has made her home since 1977. Her
watercolors, colored pencil murals,
photography, set designs and pebble
mosaics are well known on Oregon's South
Coast, and she has exhibited throughout
the state, through the Portland Art Museum,
the Coos Art Museum, and the Watercolor
Society of Oregon. She has had many solo
shows over the years, and her work is in
many solo shows over the years, and her
work is in many collections across the
country. She works in both abstract and
representational styles, and loves to travel,
sketching and painting as she goes.
Victoria studied Fine Arts at the University
of California, Berkeley, and worked as an
art director and illustrator in San Francisco,
New Haven, New York, and Los Angeles,
where she worked with Judy Chicago at the
California Institute of the Arts
(Womanhouse Project) and was a West
Coast Correspondent for the New York
Village Voice. She has illustrated several
children's books. She is also an art
advocate as well and has curated many art
shows, for the Coos Art Museum,
Harbortown Events Center, the Bandon
Boarkwalk, Evergreen Court in Coos Bay,
and the Southern Coos Hospital & Health
Center in Bandon, for whom she has
curated four shows a year since the year
2000.

Castleberry, David

Oil Painter
David's work has been displayed at the
Second Street Gallery for many years. His
colorful work matches his optimistic
personality. Once you begin to view his
paintings, you will easily recognize his
unique style of incorporating patterns and
vivid coloration. David's work varies in size,
including prominently proportioned works
and he is also known for his prismatic fish
which have been displayed around Coos
County.

Cink, Patricia

Watercolor on Yupo
Local artist Patricia Cink paints beautiful
seascapes, landscapes, and trees on Yupo
paper. Yupo is a synthetic paper which is
actually waterproof bestowing new
challenges to the basic techniques to
watercolor painting. Patricia has
participated in the Second Street Gallery's
Meet & Greets in the summertime
demonstrating the challenges and
positivities to painting on Yupo.
"My art is a struggle for tranquility.
Tranquility is reached when everything
comes together in a pleasing relationship,
but the interesting evidence of the struggle
can still be seen in the layers of color. I use
watercolor on Yupo paper and soft pastels
to immerse myself in the color of the
landscape, letting the composition follow.
Both media allow for continual
modifications as the painting develops."

Magill, Terry

Watercolorist
Magill paints a variety of subject matter,
but all invoking the aesthetics of local
terrain, animals, and daily life.

Sidwell, Dee

Acrylic Painter
Sidwell's paintings include portrayals of
tidepools, the monolithic rocks located

terrain focusing on maritime. Clyde is also
an active member in the community
volunteering to help teach art at local
schools and also abroad.

Fielding, Hyon

Watercolorist
From the local cypress trees to beautiful
seascapes and maritime paintings, Hyon's
work is bound to evoke emotion and place
the viewer within memories of the beautiful
Oregon coastline.

Selden, William

Oil Painter
William's paintings are a spectacular
addition to the Second Street Gallery. His
images of the Bandon Beach make you feel
as though you are right there in the
moment on a sunny day in Bandon. His
maritime works also demonstrate his
excellent ability to capture light and
reflections.

June, C.J.

Rogue River Oregon Artist
Ceramic sculpturist C.J. June has a variety
of wall-mounted masks and also
freestanding sculptures unique in style and
temperament.

Litecky, Jennah

"Copper has an innate warmth, like a wood
burning fireplace with family surrounding.
Our copper expressions will make you feel
that warmth."
Jennah Litecky and Paul Yost's copper art
partnership has brought them to the
peaceful, rugged beauty of the Oregon
mountains. Jennah's lifelong commitment
to art has blossomed in copper and
together, with the help of family, they began
Firesmith Copper.
Jennah's natural talent for creation jumps
from her copper designs. With a mind for
design and an eye for color, Jennah coaxes
breathtaking images from the copper while
also maintaining the material's organic
beauty. Paul approaches his designs with a
pragmatic influence, gently coaxing elegant
images out of the copper. With his
carpentry experience, Paul finishes the
work by shaping the copper to the hand
built frame. They both contribute to the
creative process from start to finish. All
their pieces are handcrafted, each with
their own ideas, and each with their own
styles merging into an expression they are
both proud of.
"At Firesmith Copper, it is our passion to
create unique, handmade works of fine art.
Firesmith Copper, to us, means; Art, born of
fire...See what unique piece we can create
for you!"

SoapRocks

Replicas of earth's precious stones, made
from mild, extra long-lasting, vegetable
glycerin soap. Like fresh air on different
days, each variety has its own unique, light
aroma.
A unique blend of whole herb extracts,
vitamins and minerals, from aquatic,
botanical, and terrestrial sources, come
together as a never before, in the gentle,
biodegradable bases of SoapRocks.
HOW WAS THE PRODUCT INSPIRED?
How do you integrate an eclectic
background in Conceptual Art, Geology,
Cooking, Gardening, and a little Chemistry
thrown in for good measure?
SoapRocks, of course. It only took me 36
years and a shower one cold February
morning with just soap scraps to use for
washing. After a minute, I looked down at
the object in my hand and saw a rock
where pieces of soap used to be. There it
began. Soap-Rock! SoapRocks! That light
bulb moment and seven years of
integrating herbs, oils, and wholesome
ingredients changed the nature of bathing
forever.
Here Are A Few Of My Thoughts About
SoapRocks.
Soap reaches its consummation in
SoapRocks® bath soaps. As a study in
diminishing beauty, they bring wonder to
daily life, transforming the most mundane
of tasks into an inspiring daily reminder of
nature's beauty. Unlike keepsakes, which
are put up on a pedestal and soon
forgotten, the beauty of each SoapRock is
magnified in action! Under water, lighting
up with brilliant natural color, their smooth
stone-like texture will gently cleanse with a
light lather, leaving your skin soft and
refreshed. Discover the ever-changing
contours of SoapRocks® bath soaps and
let their beauty become you.
One Question We Often Get Is This:
As beautiful as they are, how could you
ever use them?
How could you not?
Each SoapRock® soap bar lights up under
water, and over many uses, slowly
weathers away in your hands like a stream
stone in geologic time. SoapRocks® soap
bars are endowed with extracts of earth:
Aloe, Calendula, Chamomile, Comfrey,
Lavender, Vitamin E, Jojoba Oil, Olive Oil,
Almond Oil. Thus you can experience a
beauty that penetrates, yet is skin deep.
Prepare yourself for a consummate
washing experience. They are a hybrid
dense glycerine soap that lifts very little oil
off of the skin as they gently cleanse. They
are the art that touches us intimately,
teaching us to appreciate beauty by using
it, and letting it go.

Santa Fe Stoneworks

In the shadows of the Sangre de Cristo
mountains sets a century-old adobe ranch
house where artisans hardcraft art knives
of rare beauty. From one-of-a-kind custom
designs to popular, affordable collections
of pocket knives, table and kitchen cutlery,
men's gifts and accessories each Santa Fe
Stoneworks collectible is a unique example
of the cutler's art - the quintessential
marriage of fine steels with gemstone,
shell, or intricate marquetry.
To wear the Santa Fe Stoneworks name,
each piece has completed a journey of
countless painstaking steps. An artistic
journey we travel, some think, to perfection.

Scheumack Broom Co.

Brooms and Walking Sticks
Established in 1981 in the Ozark
mountains, the business is now located in
the Pacific Northwest. Scheumack is one of
the oldest and most well known names in
their craft. Their products are extremely
durable as well as decorative.
About our philosophy
In a day when "globalization" means an
easy profit for those that have no
conscience against the cost ......... In a day
when "planned obsolescence" is a
calculated business strategy ....... In a day
when the individual craftsman is a dying
breed in a culture that seeks the latest
thing, at the cheapest price, knowing that
tomorrow it will be outdated ........ or broken
.......... our small business has not
compromised. Okay, it's a small thing. A
broom. Some sticks, grass, and some
woodcarvings. But "from simple things do
great things grow." From the Buddhist
teachings of "Mindfulness", and
"Meaningful Work" we offer you our humble
craft. Whether your need is simply the best
and longest lasting broom you've ever had,
a ritual piece for a sacred spot in your life, a
ceremonial piece for your wedding or hand
fasting, or a theatrical piece... this is the
real thing.
About the process
Scheumack Brooms are made of only the
highest quality 100% broomcorn and
Southern kiln dried hardwoods. The tools
used to make the brooms are actually still
old tools from an 1878 broom shop in
Kentucky ( The foundry marks can still be
clearly seen on the castings). They are
extremely functional as well as decorative.
We do every aspect of the work , from
harvesting and preparing the raw materials
to the finished piece. From the little sapling
that was harvested out of the Ozark
Mountains to the finished tool you hold in
your hands, we made it with love …… and
sometimes weariness ….. or any of the
plethora of things we humans travel
through down life’s road. But WE do it all.

vase a fine choice for any décor.
Oil lamps are also natural cut stone and

to be replaced.

Black, David

David A. Black .... Born and raised in the Mid-west. Attended high school in the Seattle area and lived there for about 30 years. Married, had three great kids and worked primarily in Graphic Arts/Screen printing industry, since 1985. I have printed everything from T-shirts to high end nameplates, decals, signs, banners, back printed panels, and even aircraft interiors. Have also managed to print several editions of my favorite paintings , some needing up to 35 colors to complete. After a divorce, my family moved to Hawaii. So I moved there myself. It was then I met my current wife Jenny. We lived and worked there for about six years before moving back to the Oregon coast in 2011. My mother was an artist, dad was a craftsman and woodworker. I started drawing in about fifth grade and painting about Jr. high. Mostly the regular stuff: still-lives, animals, etc. Wanting to be a cartoonist or maybe doing album cover art for my favorite bands. It was about that time, I discovered the worlds of M.C. Echer and Salvador Dali...
My early works were mostly pen and ink and watercolors, but the past few years I have used acrylics. Bought my first airbrush about 20 years ago, although temperamental, it's still my favorite tool. I have had a few small shows at salons and restaurants, and once even had a piece stolen right off the wall! Got involved with "Art not Terminal" co-op gallery in Seattle in the early 90's. Showed my stuff there on and off for about 15 years, and was featured artist a couple of times. Managed to sell a couple of paintings and several prints there as well. Showed in Kona, but not many venues for my kind of work. Since back in Oregon, have had work at the Bandon Coffee Café and the Southern Coos Hospital, Bandon Library Art Gallery, Bandon Banner Bank and Coos Bay Library. Was also awarded "People's Choice" at the recent Bandon Board Walk Art Show. I have done some custom airbrushed cars and a couple of murals, would like to do some more! Also have been trying to get my screen printing studio back up and running so I can do some more of those.
Yes, I was one of those kids that liked to draw in class, while the teacher was talking. I guess I'm just a bit of a Dreamer...

Linke, Alex

"Salt Traffic"
Alex Linke, creator of 'Salt Traffic' mobile,
was born on a farm in Bavaria, Germany,
near the end of World War II. When he was
eight years old, he found a shard of pottery
near the site of an old Roman wall in his
father's field, a discovery that launched a
life-long passion for collecting ancient
ornaments, coins, beads, and artifacts.
The 'Salt Traffic' mobile is a celebration of
ocean life. Whales, sharks and dolphins
swim and spin below the ocean's surface.
On top are sailing and cruise ships; cargo
and fishing vessels; tugboats; barges and
an old steam-powered paddle wheeler. A
Coast Guard helicopter surveys the sea
below and a lighthouse stands ready to aid
ships in distress. A lone submarine plumbs
the ocean depths below.
The mobile's structure consists of a bronze
platform that serves as the ocean's
surface. The finest-quality stained glass is
used to shape the mobile's vessels and
marine life. Small pieces of amber and
fossil ivory are also employed. In a slight
breeze, the mobile's perfectly balanced
components will turn slowly.
Three available sizes
Small: 18" x 14" x 22"
Medium: 25" x 16" x 24"
Large: 30" x 22" x 28"

Lewellen, Norm

Norm Lewellen, a self-taught artist raised in
the southwest, spent his early years
exploring and experimenting in a variety of
mediums. He soon developed to have both
the perspective and depth of two
dimension work combined with the form of
sculpture, thus creating his unique style of
high relief. The illusion of depth in a
realistic style with very fine detail,
continues to be his challenge and passion.
Norm's work is a reflection of his respect
for nature and the required habitat of
wildlife.
With the desire to remain a hands on artist,
all the plaques are created from start to
finish by himself, ensuring the level of
quality is that of original.

Holbrook, Randy

Hawthorne, Daemian

"Creating is a way of life. Whether its
adding to my sketchbook, stretching some
canvases, or welding together some metal
into a dynamic sculpture, creating
something from nothing is satisfying
experience that I strive for every day."

Kuntz, Steve

Steve Kuntz' intention with his work is
simple -- to connect our modern sensibility
with the deeper mysteries of being human.
He selects his wood with longevity in mind
to create sculptures that will continue to
stir our sub-conscious with ancient, yet
familiar images. Some of the wood he
works with is hundreds of years old,
fostering that important sense of
connection between past and present.

Chiu, Jade

Finding herself with a new graphic design
degree and a "dot com" job in Silicon Valley,
Jade Chiu soon understood that ignoring
her fashion design instincts wouldn't do. So
she bought a one-way ticket to NYC and
immersed herself into studying fashion and
accessories at FIT and Parson's School of
Design.
Since then, New York based Taiwan-native,
Chiu, has contributed to the studios of
Anna Sui, L.A.M.B., DVF, and Baby Phat.
She is self taught and combined all of her
art/graphic/accessory and fashion
background, to creating her new jewelry
line.
Succumbing to her long-held dream of
creating accessories around Eastern
zodiac animals, Jade launched the "Fusion
Lovers" line in 2009. Skin, chain, and crystal
combine in mini-sets of accessories that
revolve around Jade's playful imaginings of
the styles, muses, networks, status, and
styles of her 12 zodiac dolls.
In 2011, Jade delved deeper into zodiac
identities with "Fused Babes." A pop
surrealism jewelry line of stunningly
imaginative fashion-art pieces, the jewelry
personifies and animalizes expressions
and features of the face.
In 2012, she opened a show in Paris, with
the launch of "Zodiac 12" collection, the
eyes of world-renowned stylists, editors,
and photographers are on her. Her pieces
have been picked by Italian Vogue, i-D UK,
and Shinsegae campaign and continues to
set global trends.

Barber Baskets by Don Barber

For more than 40 years, Don Barber built
wooden boats in the small fishing and
timber town of Coos Bay, Oregon.
In 1979, Don retired from shipbuilding and
started a family business handcrafting old-
fashioned baskets out of rare Myrtlewood
and copper. Many of the same tools and
skills used in boat building are still in use at
the basket shop today.
We build the baskets...one at a time, by
hand...fastened with copper nails, air dried,
sanded and dipped in clear mineral oil to
leave a stunning natural finish. We use
Myrtlewood and solid copper. The final
product is light in weight, very durable and
will give its owner many years of service.

McCarter, Michel

"I am in love with clay. It has been a major
part of my life for over 35 years. I am a
traditional potter and each piece is
individually made. My work has recently
taken a new direction. I have stopped
throwing on the potter's wheel and now
concentrate totally on handbuilt pieces."
One of her areas of designs has an Asian
focus. She is fascinated by the simple but
elegant style of oriental art and characters
and incorporates this in her work. She tries
to create a feeling of tranquility in her
pottery.
Michel attended San Jose State University
and received her Master of Arts degree
(with a ceramic concentration) in 1972. She
taught ceramics, weaving, basket making,
and other crafts in California community
colleges for 10 years. Since moving to the
northwest in 1982, she has been working
and producing pottery in her own studio.

Schulze, Dutch

Born in Kansas City in 1946, Dutch spent
his childhood in Missouri. He received his
degree from the University of Missouri after
studying Art and Art History at Wagner
College in Bregenz, Austria. Upon
graduation he turned to sculpture, working
in clay and woodcarving. By 1975 he was
living on the south coast of Oregon and
casting his sculptures in glass. He
established his own glass studio and
gallery in 1990, where he created large-
scale blow-glass vessels as well as his cast
sculpture. Now he works exclusively in kiln-
casting, with a focus on figurative forms
cast in crystal.

Sessums, Hope

In my first career as a high school science
teacher I tried to share the joy and
excitement of exploration, experimentation,
and discovery. After the lesson plans and
paper work, on weekends and during
vacations, I played in my studio as an artist.
Stained glass lead to fusing and slumping,
which lead to casting. During six summers
at Pilchuck Glass School, I studied with
Sidney Cash, Stanislav Libensky and
Jaroslava Brychtova, Ulrica Hydman-Valien,
Jose Chardiet, and Robin Grebe. In 1989 I
was chosen as one of nine students for the
first Libensky Masters class. The class was
intense in technical aspects of glass
casting and the "art" of sculpture.
After retiring in 1998, my husband and I
moved to Charleston. I continued to sculpt
and cast in glass and bronze. I loved to
paint with glass frits and prowders, fuse
and slump smaller pieces. So naturally I
took up oil painting. Then I wanted some
prints of my paintings. I bought a large
format giclee capable printer. Profiles,
archival papers and canvas, inks, and color
correction has involved a lot of new study.
With printing "in house," I took up
photography. Now my studies have
broaden to cameras, lens, and lots more
equipment for taking the perfect picture.
I also enjoy post-processing of
photographs and enhancement of the
canvas prints. Artists ARE scientist too. We
never stop experimenting and learning.
Albert Einstein said it best: "The pursuit of
truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in
which we are permitted to remain children
all our lives."

Paasch, Christopher

Beautiful metal clocks and coat racks done
by Christopher who lives in Gold Beach,
Oregon.
Christopher Paasch continues on his
journey making metal into art. A native of
the East Coast he went into the Marine
Corps around the 70s. After the Marine
Corps he spent most of his life training
thoroughbred race horses and racing
around the world. After meeting his wife
Bonnie 16 years ago and having an
extremely blessed few years in racing, they
decided to step away from racing and
begin a new journey.
They began looking for property for a
dream that Bonnie had for many years.
After deciding to settle in Gold Beach
Oregon on a ranch that they had purchased
right on the Rogue River, they formed a
foundation called Dreams Hope and Faith
Foundation. It is a Christian based
Foundation that’s helps kids in difficult
circumstances gain the opportunity to find
themselves as well as using rescued
horses saved from slaughter, to help each
other heal. With this Paasch found himself
busy but with a lot of idle time. So he began
a hobby that has turned into a love.
One day while messing around in his shop
he took a plasma cutter to a piece of steel
and cut out a horse head image. He then
put it on a planishing hammer, (a machine
that takes flat metal and gives it
dimension), and began to sculpt the horse
head. After several hours and finishing it
just the way he wanted it he decided to
paint black in memory of one of his favorite
horses. To this day that first piece hangs in
his shop. He tells us it is almost laughable
the way it looks as it is not well
proportioned but it was the beginning…….
And the rest is still being written…….

Mystical Madness by Misti Martin

Misti Martin a native New Yorker is the
founder and creator of Misti Martin Designs
and Mystical Madness Jewelry Collections.
Since 1992, Misti's unique designs and
ability to merge fashion trends with a
medley of natural stones and minerals
have provoked interest from people around
the globe.
"The inspiration for the jewelry comes from
my fascination with the many natural
resources that come from earth and sea. I
consider jewelry making to be an art, but
rather than using watercolors my palette
contains a rainbow of colored gemstones
and unusual agates. I draw from an
endless ocean of materials. Turquoise,
amber, aquamarine, opal, seashells, fossils,
and petrified woods- to name just a few are
among the many materials that are
incorporated into my work."
By combining these raw materials with
intricate craftsmanship, metal smithing and
current fashion trends, Mystical Madness
offers collections that are infused with a
fresh bold spirit that is both striking and
distinctive.
"I love the world of gemstones and have
traveled the world to many exotic places
collecting the lapidary treasures that
dictate my jewelry. It is the stones
themselves that guide me to my next
collection."
"As a young girl I was introduced to the
mystical world of jewelry when I would visit
the American Navajo Indian Reservations
with my grand father, who was a purveyor
of American Indian jewelry and artifacts.
Curious that turquoise came in so many
different shades of color- from deep mossy
green to azure blue, and fascinated by
gently pounded silver squash blossoms- I
saw these jewelry pieces as art- being
coveted and collected and cherished by
those who found them. This is where my
fascination with mystical symbols &
jewelry first began. Hence years later my
design vision and passion for exotic
jewelry, travel to distant lands and the
madness of the modern world gave birth to
Mystical Madness Jewelry."
Today Misti currently resides in Laguna
Beach, California and the tropical island of
Bali where she is busy creating the up
coming collections. In between she
continues to travel and explore, collecting
new materials and inspiration from around
the world.
"The jewelry, the travel, the food, the many
different cultures....it's such an experience-
& it's all part of a great journey....I had a
dream I would be a jewelry artist. I have
dedicated many years to this vision and am
proud to be living it! Enjoy!"

Evelyn, Jennifer

Eugene, OR
Jennifer Evelyn has always loved being a
busy creator and was a self entertained
child with many creative ideas who enjoyed
a sea-blessed upbringing in Santa Cruz,
California. She moved from California to
Oregon in 1987, where she studied Fiber
Arts at the University of Oregon. She later
transferred her love of fibers and color to
jewelry design. Completely self-taught, she
started her jewelry design business in
1999. She now designs all of the jewelry
her and her husband Josh make, piece by
piece to order. She considers each piece a
tiny celebration of color, an impromptu
story.
When she is not making jewelry, Jennifer
enjoys taking long walks with her Jack
Russell Terrier and Chihuahua, exploring,
yoga, playing with the lovely wool from her
two Shetland Sheep, sewing, practicing
piano, dancing, and trying desperately to
organize all the fun that is to be had.

Zolotsev, Yevgeniy

Watercolorist
Yevgeniy V Zolotsev was born in Tambov
City, Russia, in 1969, into a family of artists
which included his father and both of his
brothers. Encouraged and guided early on
by his family, he studied art at Tambov Art
College where he received a Bachelor of
Arts degree in 1990.
He became a member of the prestigious
Union of Free Artists in St. Petersburg in
1989 and displayed regularly in numerous
galleries in St. Petersburg and later in
Germany before his immigration to the
United States in 1992. His works are in
collections in Finland and Germany and
more recently in the United States. His
work has been the subject of special
exhibits in Salt Lake City galleries, as well
as the Ogden's Eccles Community Art
Center, The Art Exhibition in Park City, and
Bountiful's Davis Art Center.
The passion that drives his work are the 10
centuries of Russia's deep spiritual
tradition, exemplified by great cathedrals
that survive as artistic masterpieces in their
own right, as well as the simple beauty of
its rural churches. These stand after more
than 80 years of communist rule as the tree
measure of the Russian soul. This proud
religious heritage is mirrored in Zolotsev's
own spiritual convictions. Even though he
was in the tradition of all masters, his work
speaks to his own inner voice trying to
bring to life his dramatic visions. His
starkly contrasted colors represent the full
fury of nature, combining all her rich
elements of bright and darkness. The
exotic contrasts of bold aggressive colors
demonstrate the power of his greatest love-
nature in all her glory. Water and sky bring
out his greatest inspiration and passion.
What we only see with our eyes he sees
with his heart, transcending the too often
superficial vision of the common man.
"When the mundane events in my day-to-
day life began to sap my energies of spirit,
leading me to the edge of depression, I
know that I must return quickly to nature to
recapture my inspiration. Amidst the life
sustaining elements of sky and water, I
soon regain the passion that motivates my
work. Under nature's umbrella I reignite my
love for creating. In this heightened state I
paint for 12 to 14 hours a day for days on
end."
It is in his works that you will experience
the validation of all that nature gives freely
to us all. This master painters vision opens
up a window through which we all find a
little bit of our own souls.

Steel Dreams Inc., By Don Smith and Scot Hurley

Don and Scot met in Leaburg, Oregon while
both were apprenticing under a well known
Northwest metal sculptor. The friendship
was forged. Don had a background in
logging and Scot had worked in pipe
bending and metal fabrication. After being
laid off from their jobs they both found
themselves working in this strange new
environment and quickly realized their past
working skills could be applied.
After years of study they began to apply
their new found passion and ideas in a joint
effort of creating their own sculptures. With
never ending imagination and vision, they
are sure you will see new and exciting
concepts and designs for years to come.
Both men live in the Willamette Valley in
Oregon where they find much inspiration
from the beauty that surrounds them.
They share a common passion for family
and the outdoors as well as helping within
the community. They find peace and
purpose through their artwork. Whether at
home, with their families, in the studio, or
cruising the highways on their Harleys, they
are always in the creative process.
THE PROCESS:
Scot and Don start by designing a piece on
paper, then they take it to the metal....
Through processes of cutting, shaping,
texturing, and flame painting the metals,
they create the scene they envisioned in
their minds. All the work is done by hand
and the natural beauty that is pulled from
the metals create these works of art.
Sometimes acrylic paints or foils are used
as accents. The results are unique wall
sculptures that last for generations.
"We hope you enjoy our work as much as
we enjoy creating it for you. The beauty
that can be pulled from the different metals
is like nothing else. It makes all the burns
and stitches worth it!"

Bailor, Jeanette

Kiln Formed Glass in Cottage Grove, OR
Made for you by Shifting Sands Studio, her
pieces are composed of transparent and
opaque glass and may contain iridescent
glass with dichroic accents. Pieces of art
glass are cut by hand and arranged on top
or next to one another before firing. The
glass is then fused (or melted) together in a
kiln at temperatures ranging from 1300 to
1500F. The end-product is a unique, new
sheet of solid glass which has multiple
dimensions, textures and shapes. The new
sheet of glass is then taken to the grinder
to smooth and shape edges. 18k liquid gold
accents are used to sign on the back and
add accents to the face in some cases.
This sheet of solid glass in then shaped
and placed back in the kiln and "slumped"
into the final form by placing on a
preshaped form and heated to about
1150F.
Her items are quite sturdy, and should
survive most household uses. To clean,
wash gently with dish soap and water, do
not wash in dishwasher. Do not use in the
oven or microwave.

Peterson, Charlotte

Central Point, OR
Watercolorist
"Born and raised on a farm in Minnesota, I
do not recall a time I did not enjoy drawing
and "coloring!" At the age of six, I started
school with a callus on my pencil holding
finger. Mother died when I was 14 and
being the youngest of four girls, it was off
to boarding school for me, graduating from
Oak Grove Lutheran High School in Fargo,
North Dakota. I received my Bachelor of
Science Degree from Concordia College in
Moorhead, Minnesota. I taught secondary
education until my husband Earl and I
started our family in 1961.
After exploring many media, I unleashed
my true passion: transparent watercolor. I
love the unpredictable results of mixing
pigments on paper. The subject matter for
me varies from my favorite florals, to
lanscapes, old buildings, people and
animals. They say "paint what you love;" I
love contrasts of color, value, textures, and
shapes. Minnesota is my native state, but I
have thoroughly enjoyed living in the Rogue
Valley since 1973. As a member of the
Watercolor Society of Oregon, Western
Federation of Watercolor Societies, and
Montana Watercolor Society, I have been
honored with award winning paintings in
national juried shows and have exhibited in
Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Montana, California, Nevada, Washington,
New York, Pennsylvania, New Mexico,
Louisiana, Missouri, Rhode Island,
Colorado, and Texas.
Bandon-By-The-Sea has been our favorite

soldering, oxy-acetylene and MIG welding,
forging, and a variety of cold forming
techniques. I decided that I wanted to work
small scale and, after working for a wire
work jeweler for a time, that I didn’t like wire
or beads. This lead me to North Seattle
Community College where my passion for
metals and stones was cemented in place
and I began to develop my own style along
with fine tuning my skills. I now take
classes at Multnomah Arts Center and am
a member of the Portland Creative Metal
Arts Guild.
I hand craft all of the pieces myself. Chains
and some findings I get preformed to save
time, but when you buy one of these pieces
you can be confident that from the initial
spark of an idea, to design, to fabrication
your piece is one of a kind, specially made
for you. Check out my Facebook to see the
step by step details involved in my work!
I believe that everything is alive. Maybe not
conscious—but all things, animate and
inanimate, give off vibrations so subtle we
can only just sense them. People who give
off complementary vibrations enjoy each
others company, even if they are polar
opposites. I think this is why we are
attracted to certain shapes and colors
more than others, and, when applied to my
field of work, stones and metals.
Have you ever seen the piece of jewelry
that just calls to you? You know the one.
The one sitting on a piece of velvet that you
just have to touch, to wear. You can’t help
but ask to handle it, whether it’s the price of
a coffee or more than you have in your
bank account. The jeweler will hand it over
because they know the feeling, it’s why we
do what we do. We know the desire to be
close to something that resonates with our
being.
When two notes are played simultaneously
the frequencies will actually resonate
together and create a third note. We
resonate with the things and people around
us, our vibrations mixing to create
something more than the sum of it’s parts.
The symphony of the universe. And this is
what I believe my calling is. To give you
something beautiful that makes you happy
every time you look at it and confident
every time you wear it.

Muncy, Ying

Ceramic Sculptures
I like playing with animal shapes, people,
nature and mixing in flairs of the abstract
to add to the realistic nature of my art. I
distort shapes slightly and add a little bit of
eccentricity to keep my art interesting,
while still preserving the life-like nature of
my pieces.
Over the years, my two passions,
traveling and art have grown intimately
intertwined. My frequent travels have
become the main inspiration for my work.
The exotic places I visit rouse something
inside me that translates into ideas for clay.
Every time I travel in a new place and see
new things, I get excited thinking of
different ways I could depict these inspiring
things in my own way. Traveling to Europe,
Africa, China, South America, & Tibet each
inspired their own unique beauty. Whether
building a French worker, an African giraffe,
a Tibetan monk, or a farmer from my
homeland in China, I love to capture and
portray their individual uniqueness and
beauty.
My hope is for you to enjoy the beauty of
my passion as much as I enjoy making it. I
want my art to speak to you, and to touch
you on a deeper level than just the pleasing
of your eyes. My intention is to create art
that expresses my travels and my thoughts,
and hopefully speaks to everyone who
observes it.
Wood Fired Ceramics
Firing Methods and Results
Wood Firing
Relatively few working potters use wood
as a fuel for making pottery. The process
is demanding and requires a great deal of
time. Intensive labor is needed for
preparing wood, as well as, maintaining
and firing the kiln.
Some potters use wood for ecological
reasons, however most choose wood firing
because of the effects achieved from fly
ash and flashing.
Wood firing is not the easiest method for
producing matching wares. It is best
utilized by potters seeking unique & natural
process driven surfaces, which result from
firing with wood as a fuel.

Fontaine, Bruce

"I consider my work to be a "folk art" style.
Although I have formal training in art, I
strive to emulate the feeling of clay works
by ancient and indigenous people of the
world. My focus is contemporary. I give
most of my works anthropomorphic
qualities, or characteristics of humans. I
am influenced by the people around me,
and they become the subjects of my work. I
appreciate that people smile, laugh, or even
look perplexed when they see my work."

Magda Druzdzel

I've been an artist at heart all my life. Having an architect as a father while growing up in
the metropolis of Warsaw, Poland, greatly impacted my creative pursuits. After studying
architecture myself, I realized that drawing and painting were natural and enjoyable for
me.
Only in the last few years have I had enough time to dedicate my life to art. Being a first-
generation immigrant, I had devoted my first years here to assimilating myself and my
family into American life. Eleven years ago I finally began to paint professionally.
Another dream of mine materialized soon afterwards, when I opened my own gallery.
After living in California, Maine, and Minnesota, I have found Gold Beach, Oregon, to be
very peaceful in comparison. The rugged coastal landscapes of the ocean, the
mountains, and the deep forests are the inspirations for almost all my art.
In my paintings I try to capture a specific moment in time through my perspective of the
beauty of nature. Sometimes I use soft pastel colors and other times I use bright, almost
unreal colors to achieve a very strong contrast between light and shadow. My goal is to
portray on paper and canvas the wetness of the rain, the thickness of the fog, and the
heat of a sunny day. I wish for my audience to be able to smell the fragrant ocean
breeze and the wild meadow, but many of my works remain untitled for the reason that I
do not want to dictate the mood or impose a specific response from the viewer. After
looking at one of my paintings, one person may be left with a feeling of loneliness while
another may feel hopeful. I wish to leave that private matter to the viewer.
I have used numerous media including acrylics, oils, and pastels, but I keep coming
back to transparent watercolor as my first choice.

Sydney Zentall - Art Statement:
My primary subject matter is the sea. I was awakened in childhood by the energy,
danger, and solace of the sea. Memories of early experiences within and living on the
edge of the sea contribute to the substance of my art.
I have been a professional artist for 20 years. My art career began with design,
specifically with weavings and fabrics, where I was intrigued with textures and layering.
Oils have greater advantages due to their fluidity and translucency. Oils and pastels can
both provide depths by color layering.
My work differs from many sea artists in its close perspective and dramatic emphasis.
Life is most often experienced anew without the cognitive perspective of distance.
Sometimes this encounter is violent, as when a magnificent force of water meets rock
and each is transformed, and sometimes it is gentle, formed by the water residuals of
foam, fog, cloud, and spray.
Artists who provide inspiration for my work are William Turner and Frederick Waugh.

Falcon, Eduardo

EDUARDO FALCON
Eduardo was born and raised in Montevideo, Uruguay. His beginning in art started at a
young age of 8 years old; when he studied artistic drawing. At about age 14, he
expanded his knowledge and studied commercial drawing. He was never able to apply
his artistic abilities; until later in life when he began learning painting, woodcarving,
sculpture and other forms of art techniques. It was then that he combined this
knowledge to create this old/new concept of gourd art.
After years of working separately in each medium his art has evolved into an impressive
array of mix media techniques on gourds that include wood burning, carving and
painting the designs of the Southwest. Each gourd is handpicked on Southern and
Central California gourd farms, choosing only the sturdiest and best formed gourds.
Working in his studio, located in Southwestern Oregon, he initially cleans and then guts
each gourd to ready it. Next, he pencils his chosen design onto the surface. Using wood
burning tools he then outlines the intricate patterns into the gourd surface. Following,
selected areas are carved away creating three dimensional affect, exposing the inner
surface of the gourd. Finally, vibrant acrylic paint is applied bringing to life the details.
The kokopelli flute dancer, high plains buffalo, Indian Zuni bear, lizard, rabbit and
kachina figures are represented on his pieces. Dozens of his works are now owned by
private collectors throughout the world.
In recent years, Eduardo began to create a new concept in the form of gourd lamp
shades, and gourd based lamps. This new revolutionary idea has created the finest
piece of gourd art. Each piece takes many hours of very detailed work and the finished
pieces are one of a kind.
